Hello out there internets! HELLO!
Poe here. With a challenge for May. Post to your blog during the month of May.
I know, I know, there's a Ning thing for that, but - you know, a little friendly competition between friends never hurts.
Why? Because Colin and I decided we wanted to post more to our blogs and we figured if we were striving toward a goal, we'd get into the habit.
However, we don't want it to be all "crammy" and come up with a bunch of crappy "here I am!" posts. (I know how you hate those, Daniel.)
We want it to be about posting stuff you want to talk about to your blog.
Here are the rules:
1. Post 2 or 3 times a week.
2. Aim to have at least 10 by the end of the month.
Seriously. Those are the rules. Colin and I were originally just going to do it between us, but I thought it might be more fun to open it up to the rest of our readers. (My reader, his readers. (; )
Heck. We even discussed - a prize.
Are you in? I'm in! Colin's in.
Comment here if you want to be in.
I'll make a big list. (Oooo. Colin! Look! Blog reading! We can read the blogs of people competing with us! :D )
The list and my number of posts will get stickied at the top. Or thrown in the sidebar. Whichever is less distracting.
Let's go!
Dear Poe -
Hi. It's your blog. It's been a while and I miss you. In fact, since you last posted, the spammers have found me and keep signing up. I went ahead and deleted them for you - and banned not only an email domain, but an IP address. But, I kind of miss you doing those things for yourself. Not to mention, my version is outdated and I really want to be shiny and new.
Just saying hello.
Love,
Your Blog

Dear Blog -
I'm sorry. Those nasty spammers. How could they?! I saw how many people were registering, but figured I'd just get to it soon enough. Thanks for deleting them. And banning that one guy. (20+ registrations? Really? From one IP/domain?) Fortunately, I made sure to make comments expire so that old entries couldn't be spammed by people like that. I'll definitely look into upgrading your version. Maybe it's spam registration protection is better. And I think I'll start writing again. I miss telling you (and the Internets!) all about my day.
XXOOXX,
Poe
